History & Values

 – Roy Disney

Our History


Arlast Capital was founded in 2024 by Adam Wenneker, Keith Melker, and Sergio Chidichimo, who recognized significant opportunities existed in the value add sector of the multifamily asset class.

Existing operators were undercapitalized, poorly managed, and unaligned with investor interests. With formidable entrepreneurial spirit and a distinctive approach, Arlast was born to serve the needs of the modern multifamily investment community.

Core Values


Improvement


We continually pursue excellence. 

It is our unwavering belief that a steady stream of improvements, diligently executed, will have transformational results.  To that end, we pursue constant innovation across the business, engaging all our team members in sharing knowledge and generating ideas.

Accountability


We have an ownership mentality. 

We take responsibility for our actions, decisions, and outcomes.  We commit to excellence while embracing mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning.  We hold ourselves to the highest standards and expect others to do the same. 

Stewardship


We put the interests of clients first. 

It is our profound responsibility and privilege to manage the capital entrusted to us by our investor partners.  Accordingly, we rigorously evaluate investment decisions and seek sustainable value and long-term investor success.

Optimism


We are unabashedly optimistic. 

We are motivated to confront the most intractable and complex problems that others shy away from.  We encourage others and believe optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.

Integrity


We’re trustworthy and reliable in our words and actions.

We choose courage over comfort, what is right over what is easy, and live values over professing them. We adhere to robust ethical standards and commit to prudent long-term value creation.  

Resilience


We have staying power that lasts.

We are tenacious in the face of hardship, persevering with an understanding that our success will be measured over a period of years, not quarters.  We withstand, adapt to, and overcome adversity. 

Efficiency


We maximize outcomes and eliminate waste.

We create value by being simple, consistent, effective, and expeditious.  We are prudent with our resources, including our time, and only perform activities that better our clients’ interests.
